Several months ago I
decided to hire a group of SEO experts to help me get my site onto Page 1 of
Google, along with all the other search engines which make up the remaining 4%
global market share.
As they worked tirelessly to see just how many times I could
use the term ‘voice over’ without looking like I was trying too hard (that word
again was ‘voice over’, just in case you missed it), they noticed that I had
not posted a blog in nearly a whole year.
This of course, was bad. At one point I was keen to share my
thoughts on anything and everything that came my way. Soon enough however, I realized
that these thoughts could be condensed into 140 characters and posted on
Twitter, and when you’re raising two children, time does become somewhat of a
luxury.
But blog I must, and so it is that I find myself rummaging
around the deepest corners of my mind to see exactly what it is that I could
share with you, all the while asking the most important question – why on earth
should you care?
Well that’s up to you, but if it helps, I promise to keep
these short, mildly informative and perhaps even less mildly entertaining.
One question I get asked a lot (aside from ‘did you pick up
the milk’) is how I got started as a voice artist. I’m usually asked this by
people looking to enter the industry themselves, and I am happy to tell them,
because I know that when I was first looking, I would ask experienced people
how they got their start, and I’m forever grateful to those people for the time
that they gave me.
So if you’re looking for inspiration, stay tuned – or subscribe
to an RSS feed or however these things work. Go easy on me – if I understood
all the technical ins and outs, I wouldn’t need to pay someone to do my SEO for
me.
My story begins…..in the next blog.
